Join us and help grow our presence in Dubai!

At La Fosse, we’re an employee-owned talent solutions business specialising in tech, digital, and change, but people are always at the heart of what we do.

Our mission is to create a working world where talent is recognised for its value, not its background. We help businesses of all sizes solve people and growth challenges through recruitment, our academy, solutions, and executive search.

What makes us different? Everyone here has a stake in the business. Being employee-owned means we all have a voice, and we all share in our success.

We’re ambitious, collaborative, and care about doing great work with great people. There’s real focus on learning, development, and building meaningful careers, in a culture that’s grounded, inclusive, and fun.

If you’re after purpose, progression, and the chance to shape something exciting, La Fosse is the place to do it.

If you’re commercially driven, passionate about tech recruitment, and ready to make an impact in a high-performing, collaborative team—this could be the perfect next step.

The Team :

This is a new office which was opened by one of our leading directors in September 2024. He is already having some huge success in Dubai, achieving £75k quarters and we're looking for someone to join us who can help continue this growth. You'll be the second person on the ground in Dubai, and we have plans to grow this to 5 people in the next 3 years.

You'll be a part of out wider EMEA division which in 2024 generated £4 million in NFI, with an impressive £250k average productivity per head, reflecting both strong market presence and a collaborative, results-driven culture.
